William Taft Home
Friday, July 18th, 2008
27th President of the United States William Taft has a bit of a homebody. He spent his entire life - up until he embarked on his ultimately successful political career - living in one house, surrounded by his family.
And that house still stands today, though now it’s not just a house: it’s the William Howard Taft National HIstoric Site. Open to tours by the public, this Ohio house has been protected from demolition or alteration and is a great place for tourists. And there are plenty of other attractions around the house to help keep you interested, including annual events and the Taft Education Center, which includes a robot fashioned in the form of Taft’s youngest son (dubbed Charlie).
Looking to visit? The house is located at 2038 Auburn Ave. in Cincinnati, Ohio. You’ll know it as soon as you see it.
